Chords

[Intro] Am F C G Am F C G Am Am [Verse 1]
        C
She's a long way from Houston

C                         F      F
Long way from those Texas blues

    C
And she came down from Telluride

     C                                G   G7
On a steam train bound for somewhere new

          C
There's a rainbow in the mountains

          C                               F      D7
And she's waiting on the sun to shine on through

G                                 G
You can't tell the tears from the rain

                                  C      C
If you ain't walked a mile in her boots
[Chorus]
G                         F
Standing in the rain in Durango

C                    G                  E7
Right side of wrong, wrong side of gone

Am                        F
Standing in the rain in Durango

      C
She's waiting on some cowboy

   G         E7                 Am
To lasso her heart and take her home
[Instrumental] (Am) F C G Am F C G Am Am [Verse 2]
          C
Well, she fell in with some field hippies

     C                          F       F
Went needle dancing in a tie dye dress

       C
Then a Rocky Mountain rain came

C                          G    G7
  And they all got soaking wet

    C
She wound up with a backstage pass

C                               F     D7
Hanging with the pickers in the band

         G
'Til her heart got broke by a banjo man

    G                                   C      C
Now she's had all the bluegrass she can stand
[Chorus]
G                         F
Standing in the rain in Durango

C                    G                  E7
Right side of wrong, wrong side of gone

Am                        F
Standing in the rain in Durango

           C
She's just waiting on some cowboy

   G         E7                 Am
To lasso her heart and take her home
[Instrumental] (Am) F C G Am F C G Am Am [Verse 3]
        C
She had all of her belongings

     C                                 F     F
In a cardboard suitcase sitting by her side

        C
And she had no destination

C                          G     G7
She was just looking for a ride

      C
So he pulled up in a Mustang

C                              F    D7
She got in and they just rode away

     G
They headed west into the sunset

G                          C     C
  Mascara running down her face
[Chorus]
G                         F
Standing in the rain in Durango

C                    G                  E7
Right side of wrong, wrong side of gone

Am                        F
Standing in the rain in Durango

           C
She's just waiting on some cowboy

   G         E7                 Am
To lasso her heart and take her home
[Outro] (Am) F C G
Am                        F
Standing in the rain in Durango
C G Am
